June 13, 2021 | Rev. Omar Jolly • Blindness was common at the time that Jesus walked among us while in Bethsaida. • The god of this world has blinded the understanding of many to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. • As the Lord Jesus did, the miracle of the giving of sight was shown in Mark 8:22-25 in a progressive way until clarity comes, as it happens to many of in the realm of Spiritual awakenings. This was only miracle done by Jesus which wasn't complete the first time. • As shown, sight or perception doesn't always come instantly. He is the God of the second touch. • The reason that Jesus came was to help us see, as God intends us to see. • As valuable is our physical sight, every human also has spiritual eyes which the Holy Spirit wants to open and begin to perceive the Kingdom of God. • Real friends will lead us to abundant life, and take us to Jesus, and love us in spite of our shortcomings. • When we aren't seeing correctly, the Lord is willing to touch us again. • There is nothing like having one on One
